Progress in materials science depends on the ability to discover novel materials and to investigate and understand their properties. The [(SnSe)1+x]m[VSe2]n ferecrystals are novel materials containing turbostratically disordered layers of SnSe and VSe2. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the stacking sequence on the electrical properties. Therefore, these ferecrystals were electrically characterized by determining the in-plane resistivity and Hall coefficient between 4.2 K and 300 K, using the van der Pauw method. Assuming a single-band model, an increase in resistivity and a decrease in carrier concentration was observed for the [(SnSe)1+x]m[VSe2]1 ferecrystals with m=1,2,3 and 4, below an onset temperature between 100 K and 150 K. This is consistent with a localization of charge carriers, when, for example, a charge-density-wave (CDW) forms. The electrical measurements imply that it is possible to tailor the electrical properties of these ferecrystals by varying the stacking sequence, as the onset temperature increases with increasing m.
